What does it mean when the Bible says God will perform the good work in us?
Answered in 1 source
It means God is committed to completing the transformative work of salvation He began in us until the day of Christ.
When Scripture states that God will perform the good work initiated in us, as seen in Philippians 1:6, it emphasizes His faithfulness and power in bringing about our spiritual growth and ultimate salvation. This good work refers particularly to the process of sanctification—the gradual transformation of believers into the likeness of Christ. God takes the responsibility to lead and enable us through the Holy Spirit. Thus, our confidence rests not on our ability to maintain our faith but on God's unchanging promises and His commitment to carry us through to completion. This assures believers of their perseverance in faith until Christ returns.
